PNot since the demise of former Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, has so much controversy attended the death from COVID-19 of a high-profile personality. In death, Senator Buruji Kashamu stirred up as much dust as he did in life.
He wrote: “The life and history of the departed have lessons for those of us on this side of the veil. Senator Esho Jinadu in his lifetime used the manoeuvre of law and politics to escape from facing justice on alleged criminal offence in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. But the battle-hardened Obasanjo always has a fitting comeback. He told salivating critics to go right ahead and have a field day whenever he kicked the bucket as he didn’t care what they had to say.
If COVID-19 protocols were being trampled aground in celebration of the dead, so they were also in matters political last week. The All Progressives Congress flagged-off its governorship campaigns in Edo State with a mammoth crowd in Benin-City. Eleven governors and a motley collection of office holders were present, social distancing absent.
On the day, Obaseki travelled to the state’s Peoples Democratic Party headquarters to pick up a membership card, he was accompanied by a crowd of supporters who clearly never heard of his COVID-19 gazette. He, too, has been holding rallies of more than 20 persons.
